Shame they couldn't fix the cooling system

Needing water at 16-25C is really not smart at all. There are plenty of good water cooled designs out there that can take cooling water in at 40C-45C and put it back out over 55C even on Intel's hottest chips. The very low temperature required on this design means that the new owner is likely to get a notable amount less performance for their dollar than if the cooling system ran at a decent temperature and didn't need to waste money buying and running refrigeration.
